                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis  of  Presentation

Cavalry  Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Tennessee corporation, is the holding
company  for  Cavalry  Banking (the "Bank") which is a federally chartered stock
savings  bank.

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with Instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not
include  all  of  the  information  and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  However,  such
information  reflects  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal recurring
adjustments)  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of management, necessary for a fair
statement  of  results  for  the  interim  periods.

The  results  of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 2000, are not
necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  to  be  expected  for the year ending
December  31,  2000.  The  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto
should  be  read  in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.

2.  Earnings  Per  Share

Earnings  per share has been computed for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
based  upon  weighted  average common shares outstanding of 6,340,984.  Earnings
per  share  has  been  computed for the three months ended March 31, 1999, based
upon  weighted  average  common  shares  outstanding  of  6,607,533.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,  Earnings  Per Share,
established  new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.  The
standard  is  effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 31,
1997.  The  Company  had  no dilutive securities, therefore diluted earnings per
share  is  the  same  as  basic  earnings  per  share.

3.  Business  Segments

The  Company  and  its subsidiary provide community oriented banking services to
individuals  and businesses primarily within Rutherford, Bedford, and Williamson
counties  in  Middle  Tennessee.

The  Company's  segments  are  identified  by the products and services offered,
principally  distinguished  as  banking,  trust and mortgage banking operations.
Approximately  30%  of  mortgage  banking  revenues  are  derived each year from
transactions  with  agencies of the U.S. government.  In addition, one unrelated
entity  purchased  approximately  50%  of  mortgages  sold  in  2000  and  1999.


                                        5
<PAGE>

Segment  information  is  derived from the internal reporting system utilized by
management  with  accounting  policies  and  procedures  consistent  with  those
described  in  Note  1  of  the  1999  Annual  Report  to Shareholders.  Segment
performance  is  evaluated  by the Company based on profit or loss before income
taxes.  Revenue,  expense  and  asset  levels  reflect  those  which  can  be
specifically  identified  and  those  assigned  based  on  internally  developed
allocation  methods.  These  methods  have  been  consistently  applied.

Comparison  of  Financial  Condition  at  March  31,  2000 and December 31, 1999

Total  assets  were $364.5 million at March 31, 2000, compared to $395.4 million
at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $30.9 million or 7.8 %.  This decrease was a
result  of  cash  being  used  to  reduce  borrowings from $45.0 million to $1.6
million.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in cash from
increased  deposits.  Cash  and cash equivalents decreased from $94.4 million at
December  31,  1999,  to  $40.8  million  at  March 31, 2000.  This decrease was
primarily  a  results  of  cash  used  to  retire  $45.0  million in borrowings.
Investments available for sale increased from $7.0 million at December 31, 1999,
to  $23.8  million  at March 31, 2000, as a result of increased deposits.  Loans
receivable  net  increased $1.2 million from $272.2 million at December 31, 1999
to  $273.4  million  at  March  31,  2000.

Deposit  accounts  increased  $12.1  million from $308.9 million at December 31,
1999,  to  $321.0  million at March 31, 2000.  Certificates of deposit increased
$2.0 million from $151.0 million at December 31, 1999 to $153.0 million at March
31,  2000.  Savings  deposits  increased  $1.1  million  from  $13.0  million at
December  31,  1999  to  $14.1 million at March 31, 2000.  Money market accounts
increased  $3.4 million from $63.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $67.2 million
at  March  31,  2000.  Transaction  accounts  increased  $4.9 million from $34.7
million  at  December  31,  1999  to  $39.6  million  at  March 31, 2000.  These
increases were primarily a result of an ongoing effort to raise the deposit base
for  Cavalry  Banking.

Stockholders'  equity  increased  by $1.0 million from $38.8 million at December
31,  1999,  to  $39.8  million  at  March 31, 2000, as a result of net income of
$828,000  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000 release of ESOP shares of
$346,000  and  release  of Management Recognition Plan (MRP) shares of $253,000.
These increases were offset by dividends declared of $355,000 and an increase in
unrealized  losses  on  available-for-sale  securities  of  $26,000.

                                        7

Nonperforming  assets  were  $499,000 at December 31, 1999 and $219,000 at March
31,  2000.

Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and
  March  31,  1999.

Net  Income.  Net  income decreased to $828,000 for the three months ended March
31,  2000,  from  $  1.2  million  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1999,
primarily  as  a  result  of a lower net interest income, increased interest and
non-interest  expenses.  These  increased  expenses  were offset partially by an
increase  in  interest  and dividend income, a decline in the provision for loan
losses  and  increased  non-interest income.  The decline in net interest income
was  primarily a result of the impact of the decline in cash equivalents used to
fund  the special cash distribution of $53.3 million, which was paid in December
1999.

Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest income declined $600,000 from $4.5 million
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1999 to $3.9 million for the three months
ended  March  31,  2000.  This  decline  was  a  result  of earning assets being
utilized  to  fund  the  special  cash distribution paid in December 1999.  This
distribution  resulted  in  a  decline  in the ratio of average interest-earning
assets  to average interest-bearing liabilities from 144.49% for the three month
period  ended  March  31,  1999  to 116.41% for the three months ended March 31,
2000.

Interest  income increased 2.9% to $7.0 million for the three months ended March
31,  2000,  from  $6.8  million  for the same period in 1999.  Interest on loans
increased from $5.6 million for the period ended March 31, 1999, to $6.1 million
for  the  same  period  in 2000.  This was a result of average loans outstanding
increasing  from  $249.5  million  for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to
$274.7  million  for  the same period in 2000.  The average yield decreased from
9.05%  for the three period ended March 31, 1999 to 8.92% for the same period in
2000.  This  decline  was a result of lower amortization of deferred fees due to
increased  competitive pressures.  These market pressures also attributed to the
slight decline in yield.  Income on all other investments consisting of mortgage
backed  securities,  investments,  FHLB  stock,  bank deposits and federal funds
declined  from  $1.2  million for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 to
$851,000  for the same period in 2000.  Average investments decreased from $87.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to $56.4 million for the same
period  in  2000.  The  average  yield increased from 5.35% for the three months
ended  March  31,  1999  to 6.06% for the same period in 2000.  This increase in
rate  was  a  result of rising rates while the decline in volume was a result of
funds  used  to  pay  the  special  cash  distribution  in  December  1999.

Interest expense increased from $2.3million for the three months ended March 31,
1999  to  $3.1  million for the same period in 2000.  Average deposits increased
from  $233.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $275.6 million
for  the  same period in 2000.  This increase was a result of continuing efforts
to  increase  market  share of deposits.  The average cost of deposits increased
from  4.06%  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1999, to 4.35% for the same
period  in  2000.  Average  borrowings  were  $8.9 million at an average cost of
5.90%  for  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 2000.  There were no borrowings
outstanding  during  the  first  three  months of 1999.  The total cost of funds
increased  from 4.06% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 4.43% for the
three  months  ended  March  31,  2000.  Average  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  from  $233.3  million  for  the  three months ended March 31, 1999 to
$284.5 million for the same period in 2000.  Interest rate spread decreased from
4.02%  for  the three months ended March 31 1999 to 4.00% for the same period in
2000.  Net  interest  margin  decreased  from  5.31 % for the three months ended
March  31,  1999,  to  4.68%  for  the  same  period  in  2000.

                                        8

Provision  for Loan Loses.  Provision for loan losses are charges to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as
adequate  to  provide for estimated loan losses based on management's evaluation
of  the  collectibility  of  the  loan  portfolio,  including  the nature of the
portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific
impaired  loans and economic conditions.  Management also considers the level of
problem  assets  giving greater weight to the level of classified assets than to
the  level  of  nonperforming  assets because classified assets include not only
nonperforming  assets  but  also  performing  assets  that otherwise exhibit, in
management's  judgement,  potential  credit  weaknesses.

The  provision  for loan losses was $74,000 for the period ending March 31, 2000
compared  to $89,000 for the same period in 1999.  The decrease in the provision
was  a  result  of a smaller increase in total loans outstanding between the two
quarters.  Management deemed the allowance for loan losses adequate at March 31,
2000.

Noninterest  Income.  Noninterest  income  increased  from  $1.2 million for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $1.3 million for the same period in 2000.
In  the  mortgage  banking  segment  net  gain  on  sale of loans decreased from
$441,000  for  the  three  months  ended  March 31,1999 to $314,000 for the same
period in 2000.  This decrease was a result of fewer loan sells during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  Loan servicing
fees  also  declined  from $71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to
$64,000  primarily as a result of increased amortization of originated servicing
rights.  In  the  banking  segment  deposit  fees  and  other  operating incomes
increased  from  $501,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to $699,000
for the same period in 2000.  This increase was primarily as result of growth in
the  number  of transaction accounts.  In the trust segment trust fees increased
from  $205,000  for  the  months  ended March 31, 1999, to $267,000 for the same
period  in  2000  as  a  result  of  increased  fees and more trust assets under
management.

Noninterest  Expense.  Noninterest  expense was $3.7 million for the three-month
period  ended  March  31,  2000  compared to $3.5 million for the same period in
1999.  Compensation  and other employee benefits increased from $2.1 million for
the  three-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $2.3 million for the same period
in  2000.  This increase was primarily a result of the MRP stock incentive plan,
which  was approved at the annual meeting in April 1999.  The increases in other
categories of operating expenses generally are attributable to the growth of the
Company.  The Company anticipates that other operating expenses will continue to
increase  in  subsequent  periods  as a result of increased cost associated with
operating  a  public  company.

Income  taxes.  The  provision for income taxes was $627,000 for the period
ended March 31, 2000 compared to     $863,000 for the same period in 1999.  This
decrease  was  primarily  a  result  of  lower  income  before  taxes.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan
principal  and interest payments, and the sale of loans, maturing securities and
FHLB  of  Cincinnati  advances.  While  maturities and scheduled amortization of
loans  are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments
are influenced greatly by general interest rates, other economic conditions, and
competition.  Regulations  of  the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision ("OTS"), the

                                        9

Bank's  primary  regulator,  require  the  Bank to maintain an adequate level of
liquidity  to  ensure  the  availability  of  sufficient  funds  to  fund  loans
originations,  deposit  withdrawals  and to satisfy other financial commitments.
Currently,  the  OTS  regulatory liquidity for the Bank is the maintenance of an
average  daily balance of liquid assets (cash and eligible investments) equal to
at  least  4%  of  the  daily  balance of net withdrawal deposits and short-term
borrowings.  This  liquidity  requirement  is  subject  to periodic change.  The
Company  and  the  Bank  generally  maintain  sufficient  cash  and  short-term
investments  to  meet  short-term  liquidity needs.  At March 31, 2000, cash and
cash equivalents totaled $40.8 million or 11.2% of total assets, and investments
available  -for  -sale  of  $23.8  million.  At  March  31,  2000, the Bank also
maintained,  but did not draw upon, a line of credit with the FHLB of Cincinnati
in  the  amount  of  $10.0  million.

As  of  March  31,  2000,  The  Bank's  regulatory  capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements.  At March 31, 2000, under regulations of the
OTS, the Bank's actual tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios were 10.88%,
10.88%  and  12.58%,  respectively,  compared  to requirements of 1.5%, 3.0% and
8.0%,  respectively.

At March 31, 2000, the Bank had loan commitments of approximately $45.5 million.
In  addition,  at March 31, 2000, the unused portion of lines of credit extended
by  the  Bank  was  approximately  $8.4  million  consumer  and  $31.5  million
commercial.  Standby  letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional
commitments  issued  by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third  party.  Those  guarantees  are  primarily  issued  to  support public and
private  borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and
similar transactions.  Most guarantees extend from one to two years.  The credit
risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  At March 31, 2000, the Bank
had  $7.6  million  of  letters  of  credit  outstanding.

Impact  of  Inflation  and  Changing  Prices

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  notes  thereto,
presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which
require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of
historical  dollars  without considering the change in relative purchasing power
of  money  over  time due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in
the  increased  cost  of  the  Company's  operations.  Unlike  most  industrial
companies,  nearly  all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.
As  a  result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance
than  do  the  effects  of  general  levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not
necessarily  move  in  the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of
goods  and  services.

Item  3.  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  About  Market  Risk

The  Company's  interest  rate  sensitivity  is  monitored by management through
selected  interest rate risk measures produced internally and by the OTS.  Based
on  internal reviews, management does not believe that there has been a material
change  in  the  Company's  interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 1999, to
March  31, 2000.  However, the OTS results are not yet available for the quarter
ended  March  31,  2000.  All  methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity
involve  the use of assumptions.  Management cannot predict what assumptions are

                                       10
<PAGE>


made  by  the OTS, which can vary from management's assumptions.  Therefore, the
results  of  the  OTS  calculations  can  differ  from  management's  internal
calculations.  The  Company's  interest  rate  sensitivity should be reviewed in
conjunction  with  the  financial  statement  and notes thereto contained in the
Company's  Annual  Report  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1999.

The following table presents the Company's interest sensitivity gap at March 31,
2000.
